New Game - Advanced start scenario

[HazMatt]

My big complaint with PBEM games is that they start so slowly and take a long time to get going. So I put together a scenario where each player starts with more units:

3 Settlers
2 Workers
2 Warriors
1 Scout

I'd like to start a game with this scenario with 3-5 human players, computer players to make up 7-8 and a random map with the following suggested setup:
large world, 70% ocean, Pangaea, normal climate, temperate, 4 billlion years, roaming barbarians. I'm flexible with the setup if you have a strong preference.

I don't have a ton of time so how about turns once a day or so. It may be a slow game, but at least there will be stuff to do from the start

What do y'all think?

Email, post a reply or IM me if you are interested or have any questions.

Player Status
I currently have:
- Odin, Scandinavians
- miccofl, Celts
- Calc II, Aztecs

As organizer, I'll pick last from what's left.

One more would be great.

Thanks,

I'm game, let me know when you are ready.

[HazMatt]

Just let me know what your preferred nation and name is. I also need your email, but that can wait.

thanks,
HazMatt

[miccofl]

I think I'd like to try the Celts, you can use my handle for the name.

Depending on wats available, I'll take in following order.

Aztec, Carthage, Viking, Ottoman...

If anyone else joins and choose any of my priority race just move me down in my priority list

[canadianbacon]

Im ready to go! Just let me know when it starts

-- ODIN --
(sorry for the name issue, you can change it to my formumn name if you want to make it easier to manage)

[KidThings]

Count me in if there's still room.

Ottomans

Do you think large map is too much for a PBEM game? It may take too long for meaningful contact even with the extra units. But I'll give a try whatever you decide.

[Edgar Newt]

Sounds like their might not be any room left, but I am game if you need another.

Celts, Persians, Ottomans, Romans

[canadianbacon]

When is this starting?

Do we have enough players, are we starting soon?

[HazMatt]

Cool! Looks like we're almost ready to go.

Here's what I have:
- Odin(canadianbacon), Scandinavians
- miccofl, Celts
- Calc II, Aztecs
- KidThings, Ottomans
- Edgar Newt, Persians
- HazMatt(me), Egypt
- Grungy, Greeks

If I got your pref or name wrong or you want to switch, email me (see below).

I still need email addresses for miccofl, Calc II and Edgar Newt.

Once I get everybody's info, I'll distribute it and start a turn tracking thread (probably on civgaming.net).

Please use mynemesis[AT]yahoo[DOT]com for contacting me regarding this game.

Turn Tracking System

Its not ready yet, but I'm working on a PBEM managment system on my web site, it wll allow you to upload (and track) game saves, then emails the next person who then goes to site and pulls it off. When they put it back it emails the next.

It'll take me a week or so to finish it, but check it out at

I'll be adding to it slowly, but any suggestions on what I outlined on the page would be greatly appreciated.

PS
You have to create a new (free) account on website to try it.
